> I’m a millennial who grew up with Dilbert, and it just feels so wrong now.
There's nothing wrong in enjoying the writings of people whose political ideas you disagree with. I'd rather say that if you cannot do that, there's something wickedly wrong in you.
Adams has been a loon for a long time, his Dilbert Future book talks about his personal philosophy which is straight up "Name it and claim it" theology except without the Jesus. Adams basically attributes all his good fortune to his own talent and hard work.
And then of course that means everybody who is struggling, well those people just didn't want it enough, they aren't putting in the hard work like Adams. Frankly it's their fault thinks Adams.
To be fair that line of think is a problem here on HN, among millenials, and among older generations as well. Americans in particular, but our species as a whole need to learn to separate the ideas of success and merit.
You don't like Trump or people who support him. What does this have to do with this article?
Not everything in the world need to be connected and associated with US politics and trump vs anti-trump politics. If we brought in the political views of every creator, inventor and artist than we would not be able to discuss anything on HN other than politics since every creator, inventor, and artist has a political view and people who agree and disagree with that political view.
Can you show me anything other then the parts where Scott Adams simply debunked Trump's tactics for conversational interference as related to business negotiation?
Adams frequently pitches his book "Win Bigly"...marketing himself as one of the few people to predict Trump's rise, due to his rhetoric. Showing examples would just be marketing for Adams.
